About this Holiday House
ABOUT THE HOUSE:
Enjoy Waimarama in this large, self-contained beach holiday home with breathtaking views along Waimarama surf beach to Cape Kidnappers. Built new in 2011, with 5 bedrooms sleeping 10 on two levels, the home features a large open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area opening onto a deck overlooking a reserve and the beach. It has been designed to cope with the bustle of family groups and yet it also suits a couple or two looking for a quiet retreat. The two dining tables with inside/outside options make it ideal for a small business retreat. Please note this in our family holiday house, not a commercial enterprise and we wish to treat our neighbours with respect so this is NOT A PARTY HOUSE.
The two upstairs bedrooms each open onto a balcony and share a large bathroom with shower, bath and toilet. One of these rooms has twin king singles combining to a super-king double bed. The other upstairs room is a queen. The ground level has three inside bedrooms plus an enclosed veranda room. One has twin singles combining to a King double. The next is a queen double. The large bunk-room has three double bunks plus a roll-away single (i.e. sleeps six singles). The veranda room can be enclosed or open to the sounds of the sea and has a standard double bed. It has a more rustic camping feel. The main ground level bathroom has an accessible shower, bath and toilet.
Stay cosy in winter with double glazing, a woodburner and new heatpump installed 2021.
ABOUT THE AREA:
Waimarama has a population of around 1200 increasing significantly over the summer months.
There is NO TSUNAMI warning siren - if there is an earthquake that goes for longer than 1 minute or is strong enough to knock you off your feet then you need to get going immediately. IF IT’S LONG & STRONG GET GONE. Familiarise yourself with the TSUNAMI evacuation points - the best one from this bach is back down Airini Road (past the shop) and turn left. Follow this road (Harper Road) as you go past the camp ground on your left and when you get to the next sweeping corner (which goes left) - you go straight ahead. This is onto private farmland - there is a Tsunami evacuation sign. Follow the driveway until you get to the high point where you will wait until further instructions from civil defence.
Please ask Krissy for any advice about Tsunami’s if you need it.
If during your stay you happen to hear the fire alarm sounding at the local fire station - this is NOT A TSUNAMI WARNING - it will be a call out for the local volunteer fire brigade, likely to be a fire or accident locally.
There are several defibrillators available for emergency situations. The closest one for you is located at the Waimarama Store. There is also one at the Waimarama Surf Club – available during patrol hours.
There is a lifeguard tower and supervised swimming area between the flags at the Waimarama Surf Lifesaving area in the reserve.
The Domain provides shady picnic spots and a playground, the gates are shut at dusk each night.
Groceries + food at Waimarama Beach:
The Waimarama Store sells some essentials as well as amazing fresh fish and chips, to die for burgers, delicious barista coffee, ice creams - including fresh fruit over summer, alcohol, fresh bread and milk.
As of summer 2023 The Waimarama Store is also selling amazing clothes from Bali and pottery made locally. The shop is open from 9am until 7pm in summer with reduced hours over winter.
For the big grocery stock up, the Havelock North New World is the next closest at about a 30 minute drive into Havelock North Village, where you will also find many cafes, restaurants and bars.
